Application fi1Bd. Al1g}1Sl7 8, 1905; Serial No. 273,264.

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosErHINE BECKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brookly-n, in the county ofKings, State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful- Improvements in GameApparatus; and I dovide an exceedingly simple and inexpensive game apparatus.

With these-and other objects in'view the present invention consists inthe combination inafter more fully described, shown in the accompanyingdrawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it beingunderstood that changes in the form,-proportion, size,'and minor detailsmay bemade within thejscope of the claim withoutdeparting from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. 7

In the drawings, vFigure 1 is a perspective view of the tray. Fig. 2 isa perspective view showing one of the dice In two positions. Fig. 3 is aview of a number of chips.

In order to play the game invented by me,

1 provide a tray 1, divided into a series of six compartments 2 ofvarious colors, as green, yellow, black, red," white, and blue. Thesecompartments may be colored in any order desired. Six dice 3 are used,each .die having six sides and each side of each die being coloredaccording-to the colors of the six trays. I also provide a number ofchips 4 say, for instance, six hundred in allso that there may be onehundred chipsfor each color of the series of compartments of the tray 1,i the colors of the chips of course corresponding also to the colorsupon the'dice.

Upon starting the game each player receives an equal number of chips ofdifferent colors according to the colors ofthe series of compartments 2.We will suppose that five persons are in the game, in which event eachplayer will receive twenty chips each of green,ye]low, black, red,white, and blue.- Theneach player in turn will throwthe six dice, theobject being to throw the dice so that one of each of the six colorswill turn up. If the player fails to throw any one of the colors, hemust place a chip of the color not thrown in the compartment of the traycorresponding to. the color not'thrown. For instance, supposingthevplayer threw two green, two red, and two blue sides of the dice, hewould then haveto forfeit two chips to the green, red, and bluecompartments. cessful thrower gets all the chips in the compartment orin the event that he should be successful in his first throw he isentitled to one-half of all the other chips which his op- Thesucponentsmay possess. The winner of the game is the person having all or most ofthe chips at the conclusion of'the game.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I i provide a game tending tocreate more or less excitement, and therefore-affo rd amusement to thoseparticipating in the game.

What is claimed is w A game apparatus comprising atray divided into aseries of compartments of different. colors. a series of six dlce, eachdie being six-sided with the sides thereof colored according to thecolors ofthe compartments, and a number of chips of difierent colorscorresponding to the colors of thedice and compartments for dispositionwithin the compartments of like color.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPHINE BECKER.
